for your support on my Blogs, I especially appreciate your valued friendship, looking forward to another year walking this journey with you, let's keep Sparking On Together 1 day and 1 step at a time...

I happily stumbled upon this page and mighty glad I did. I am an 86 year old from India, struggling with Arthtirtis in both my knees as well as acute RA in my right shoulder. I just can't raise my right had too high so need help in even changing my clothes or combing my hair.

My knees have been giving me problems and drastically reduced my mobility. Finally an attack of Dengue fever a fortnight ago had left me bed ridden, but now I am wheelchair bound. My GP tells me it will take me anywhere between 4 to 6 months to be able to walk the little that I used to. I had managed to lose almost 2 kilos before I fell ill and am scared that I might gain weight if i remain so inactive.... need your advise.

It’s time to face our “present” and truly live it to the best of my abilities! We need to stop letting past experiences and future fears stop us from living the life we want and dream about. That’s my plan - starting now! Join me! Sheila
